I followed the instructions given above to set up for my removable drives to automount on my laptop and desktop machines. I got it to work flawlessly on my laptop, but not on the desktop. What I seem to be having trouble figuring out is why my DVDs won't get automounted if I eject a DVD and then load it again. The DVDs only seem to get automounted when I first boot my system. I've checked the system logs, compared the recommended settings given at the gentoo forum link above against the settings on my laptop. Still didn't find anything amiss. I little help would be appreciated. Here's some info that might prove handy. dmesg output: [ 5.076608] ata5.00: ATAPI: Optiarc DVD RW AD-5200A, 1.01, max UDMA/66 [ 5.082537] ata5.00: configured for UDMA/66 [ 5.085298] scsi 4:0:0:0: CD-ROM Optiarc DVD RW AD-5200A 1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 5.087417] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 94x/94x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 5.087421] cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [ 5.087668] sr 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [ 5.087886] sr 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5 udisksctl status MODEL REVISION SERIAL DEVICE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ST3320613AS SD11 9SZ08MMB sda Optiarc DVD RW AD-5200A 1.01 Optiarc_DVD_RW_AD-5200A sr0 /var/log/messages showing the udisks activities when I unmounted the DVD that got mounted at boot time.
